Houston Texans safety Ed Reed, who is still rehabbing from offseason hip surgery, indicated that the injury originally occurred when Patriots quarterback Tom Brady kicked him in the AFC championship game.

"The only play I could look at is when I got kicked by a certain quarterback," Reed said Tuesday at Texans minicamp. "But even then, I played in the Super Bowl and you saw what happened there."

Reed acknowledged he isn't sure if he'll be ready to play for the Texans in the season opener on Sept. 9. The nine-time Pro Bowler, who had surgery April 30 for a partly torn labrum, said he didn't find out he needed surgery until after joining the Texans from the Super Bowl-winning Baltimore Ravens.

"If you ask my trainer and ask my doctor, they can't believe where I'm at now," Reed said. "It's still a process. We want to be smart through it.

"At the end of the day, the smartest thing is to be ready when it really counts -- and that's the latter part of the season when you're making that run to the playoffs and on to the Super Bowl."

Reed, who was in Houston for the start of the Texans' three-day minicamp, said he hasn't had any setbacks, and he'll have a better idea of when he might play when training camp begins in late July.

Broncos signed third-round CB Kayvon Webster to a four-year contract.
Webster (5-foot-10 1/2, 195) started 32 games at South Florida, notching three interceptions and four forced fumbles. He's classified as a good "character guy," and he'll likely see most of his rookie-year action on special teams.

Montee Ball - RB - Broncos

Broncos signed second-round RB Montee Ball to a four-year contract.
Ball, the No. 58 overall pick, scored an NCAA record 83 all-purpose touchdowns at Wisconsin. He has a lot of miles on his tires, but coach John Fox insists that the team isn't concerned about that one bit. Following the release of Willis McGahee on Thursday, Ball is in the driver's seat for lead-back duties. He's a perfect for for the Broncos' scheme and has RB1 upside.

The fact that we don't have 10 pages of posts on the Tebow comments (and multiple comments about how omg IAOFM sucks and omg TonyR always posts links omg!!!) is a pretty good sign that not many people have seen this...

CBS' Jason La Canfora reports there is "some sense" the Broncos and unsigned franchise player LT Ryan Clady will hammer out a long-term deal before next month's deadline.
La Canfora expects talks to come down to the July 15 deadline, but believes the Broncos are "edging closer to reality on what the cost will be." Clady is believed to be seeking Joe Thomas or Jason Peters money, which would put him in the neighborhood of $35-$45 million guaranteed. The Broncos would be wise not to upset the man tasked with protecting Peyton Manning's blindside.

pay the man his money, get serious insurance on it in case he gets hurt doing something stupid and get his ass in camp.

Von Miller will get a head start on training camp by reporting to the Broncos' Dove Valley facility in early July.
Broncos training camp doesn't start until July 25. "It's just a choice," explained Miller. "It's all part of trying to be the best linebacker I can be and making plays for the defense." Following an 11.5-sack rookie season, Miller leaped to 18.5 sacks and six forced fumbles as a sophomore. Still only 24 years old, Miller has bypassed DeMarcus Ware as the NFL's premier edge pass rusher.
